Marc your drawings are BEAUTIFUL 😮 I’m glad I bought Art School, I’ve been learning tons of great stuff! Looking forward to being able to draw like you someday 🙏
@@livingincreationI find nothing wrong with cringe, it's just a different type of humor, but I do find something wrong with hateful comments, respectfully
Since you read every comment, I, just like many others, want to express my gratitude towards you Marc! Your content really helps a lot and I feel like there is no excuse for me to say that I don't have access to art education. The only limit is the will to learn. Been following you as well as a few other artists for some time now and it's amazing what you provide to the art community. Thanks you once again for providing this content for free!
He actually reads every comment, I wrote a comment about making clean anime art outside his style. It got no likes or whatever but a few days later he made a video in which he tried to adopt Samdoesart's style. This guy is a legend he actually loves art and he's not afraid to make it even better.
WE MAKING IT OUT OF BAD LINEART HELL WITH THIS ONE Thanks for this lesson Marc. Will definitely practice some more sketching techniques in photoshop. Keep up the FIRE
Yooo I've been struggling with trying to sketch easily cuz my perfectionist mind doesnt let me live with a rough sketch being messy so this is defo gonna help! Thank you teach!!
Perfectionism is the the mind killer. Here's a tip that helped me out. Get a light blue pencil (I use Pilot Color Eno with soft blue lead) and rough it in and then the final with a regular pencil (I use 2B). For the rough use simple shapes to block it in. It's easier to get the proportions and angles right at this stage. Another technique is to use a cheap ball-point Bic pen. It will force you to think before you commit a line. You can combine this with a light blue pencil and finish the drawing with a pen.
If I had money I would one hundred percent take your class! I’m never late to your videos. You’re one of the better art teachers on RU-vid keep it up bro!
you can get his class in different terms, that means you can buy one by one so you don't have to pay that much money at once. And with discounts you're able to get them a little cheaper too! Maybe you can get them this way one day :))
@@alieenoirthanks so much for this?! I didn't realise you could get them one by one, just thought it was way out of my budget by looking at the full package
It’s our wonderful mage Frieren! And such pretty line work. My fav part of drawing lines has to be suggesting details. Those little lines make all the difference in my work. Thanks so much for the wonderful tips!
One of your best recent vids I think. A lot of this stuff I thought about before but there are so many different line art techniques, having an experienced artist explaining specifically what choices they make and why helps a lot.
I'm glad to stumble across this tutorial! Always been "chicken scratching" and struggling to understand why my lineart is way off compare to the sketch. Thank you so much Marc!
I just want to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart, please don't stop making awesome tutorial like this, it's super good, and we as your fans would definitely be sad when your gone for sure.
Ah, chicken scratches, after one year into drawing, they are still my favorite line type. :D Amazing content as always. As a beginner, lineart is even more harder then redrawing fully colored portraits from references.
I have just bought my first drawing tablet. I’m super excited and also scared. I want to get into digital drawing but I have not drawn in years so been watching loads of your videos to start learning again. Thank you so much for the information you’ve provided.
Regarding the first piece of advice I want to add one thing, many times there are those who have wrist tablets (like the wacoms intuos and others) in those cases to have a more confident line, you can try to zoom out of the drawing and have it take up the entire screen, You will still continue using your wrist but this way you can cover more distance
It makes sense. I don't think I'm bad at lineart, but I definitely lack of confidence in that area. I mean, I end up redrawing the same like as if I made a mistake, even when I didn't even see the result yet. I'll try to apply these advices, I really hope I can improve in this!
Maybe some tutorial on how to not overuse the soft brush? I'm really struggling with catching the form in my digital paintings and I'm sure it would also help many other people improve their art. Form is one of the most important things in digital art and yet I don't see any tutorial about it in your channel.
My drawing isn't the best right now. Still have tons of practice to do. But I never understood why my line art - well looked bad even if I happened to make a graceful line. I never realized how important the differences of pencils/ brushes made. Thank you so much for sharing these tips. I'm definitely going to start applying this to my line art ASAP. ❤
I can never not watch what Marc has to say 🎉🎉🎉😢I'm addicted 😭 now to make you and myself proud I just have to take your advice and do the work so your knowledge doesn't go to waste in my lifetime. Thank you for your hardwork and passion for ART!!!❤❤❤
One thing I struggle with is the relationship between canvas size/ brush size. I sometimes see people use smaller canvas and retain good lines, but then i use a bigger canvas and still get blurry lines. Maybe you can make a class about that? Idk if that makes sense..
I think a good way to determine line thickness is to view your canvas at its full size and a distance it would been seen (video thumbnail size vs wallpaper size). And then seeing if your lines are visible enough. Are you able to see and understand it at a quick glance. Basically, how important is your lines relative to the rest of your art work determines the thickness.
Dpi doesn't apply just to printing. Dpi defines the pixel density, which traduce to detail. 1 in square at 72 dpi contains exactly 72 pixels, that means that if your brush is 5px thick, you don't have much room to play with. So increasing your pixel density gives you more space to work with your brushes. Remember pixels are both a distance measure and a resolution measure at the same time, Thad why its so confusing. Try using a generous size like tabloid at 300 dpi, and you will feel the difference immediately. I personally use a 4000 x 4000 pxl size at 300 dpi to work pretty much everything as a starting point.
thank you for teaching the importance of line weight! now i just got to figure out the best pen sensitivity so i can easily do thick and thin lines as a light digital drawer, that's been plaguing me for years😅
This has finally made me understand what was wrong with my lineart. This video explained to me in a simple way why I should use lineweight and how much it enhances the final result. Good stuff, Marc!
When I first got my drawing tablet, all I did for months was exercises. Focusing on shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers. Building each individually and then started combining them. I would work on drawing circles for hours, until my arm felt like it was going to fall off. Because I wanted the reps, I wanted to build the muscle memory and control. It paid off. I can pretty much always draw clean lines now, even if I haven't drawn for a while. I spend a little bit warming up with circles, straight lines, tracing a line (Straight or curvy and wobbly).. basically just recalibrating, and then I do pretty okay. These skills are very valuable. I just feel like I *suck* at construction. I also kind of hate doing it.. which probably means I need to do it until I don't hate it and am comfortable/good with it.
Thank you Marc, I struggle with line quality not because I don't get it, it's because of the way others explain it, and the examples that are used don't deliver the message that well. This video and your other videos on line quality are my reference because I actually understand what you are teaching, and your examples deliver the message. That intro was clever and funny, it's like big brother Marc talking with little brother Marc about getting hia practice reps in to get good.
not gonna lie, video is cool, and it looks like i've missed the moment when you not just became popular, but even improved quality of your tutorials since i've seen you for the first time 4 - 6 years ago. can't actually believe how much have changed on this chanel. i'd like to write a comment about how much changed for me for this long period of time, but sadly it turned out that now i have emotional burnout and drawing isn't as joy as it was almost 15 years ago. wish you will never have the same issue as i do and no one else do, and i wish everyone a progress that i stll haven't recieved for all those years.
So I just kinda figured this out from a video from I think was art senpai and it made a huge difference for me in terms of line confidence and that was knowing what my brush strokes were going to be before I made them. He described that most lines are either a S shape C Shape Or I shape, and that they can be found in a lot of different drawings. So I gave it a go and it made a huge difference. I was able to say oh Ok I want a... OH! a C shape here! and this little part should probably be a Oh a I shape because its long and straight! Just knowing where it was going I felt made the biggest difference! I'd love to hear your take on the technique!
Great tutorial and presenter. I'm interested in one question: how to determine how many lines should be in the form? Let's take a cylinder as an example. A cylinder in which the circles are not fully visible. How many lines should it have? 4? 2 straight and 2 convex? Or 2? Left with a bulge and right with a bulge? Or does it depend on the artist’s skills, how well he can convey a complex shape with one line, how many lines does he need? Sorry for my English, I'm using a translator.
Well marc you are the one youtuber whom has taught me the most about drawing and digital art epecially anatomy lessons in your course were just amazing. thanks alot ☺
I recently, finally, bought you art program, I am i love with it and I love all the lessons you make, I have also been struggling with good lineart for years, Its like everything you teach is just on point and amazing. Thank you for all the hard work you put into everything
Thanks for the awesome content! I've seen loads of people struggle with line weight and it's awesome to have such straight forward guidelines like this to point people towards!
Your lineart is so crispy, I await the MB Colouring Book....anyway, thanks for another great video, I'm going to up the resolution and draw big strokes on my display tablet next time!
I have Ur Art School already and haven’t had the chance to dive in just yet, but I have it on my schedule for as soon as I move into my house and I can’t wait! Gr8 vid as always, the method in which U teach works perfectly for my ADHD (smooth) 🧠. THANX SENPAI! 🙇♂️
hey marc, awesome updates as always, really hoping to see you making a video about painting over sketches and how to slowly remove lineworks as you progress with your piece
Thanks Marc! pretty interesting as always! Even though some of these topics have been presented before, I find it to be a good reminder with some more tips thrown in between, so I really appreciate recapping the fundamentals. For a topic, I'd personally be very intrested in seeing something regarding the differences between the finer male and female details. There are the obvious big details like hips, boobs and shoulder ratios, but I don't think I've seen topics that focus on some of the finer details like mouth detail, eyelashes, finger structure (since females usualy have finer fingers and longer nails), muscle definition, and so on.
Wooooooooooo! Marc is spittin some goodness!!! Thank you so much. I really struggle with this one as I really don't like doing line art as a result. I will do these tips! 😊
I got the brush pack just now and I love your pencil brush, I'm using it instead of my usual for the next piece I do. its very similar but there is better feel to it
Marc, have you ever thought of covering different kinds of drawing tablets? I believe tools sometimes can be very important and it's the only tool we draw it. Going over them wouldn't be a bad idea.
I did many over the years ru-vid.com/group/PLzDE6rf7BxBIdibp6wEC2DBfjSH3YcdYF but the vids never do good, and the brands are cheap AF with their sponsorships so I don't want to help them advertise anymore. Anything other than Wacom used to suck, but now any of the leading brands like Wacom, XPPen, Huion, Xencelab are all great so it's hard to go wrong. Huion is my personal fav after Wacom.
The video has demonstrated the utter necessity (at least to me) to have a screen-embedded graphic tablet with a large surface. Gotta have to think about it next year.
I have one inking pen and it's a 0.7 size. That's one of the reasons I find it much harder to suggest line weight. But I think it's something I can learn to train myself to do
Thanks for the excellent tips, Marc!~ 🥰 Using my arm instead of pen stability has really improved my art!~ 💖 My sketches are still wobbly, but I clean it up with a 2nd Line Art layer. The end result is much better! 💕Still room for improvement, but I'm getting there!
Your videos are great ✨💕 I was just suggesting you do a video on how to draw from imagination like a comic artist or animator or video game designer would cuz in magority cases they’ve no mental reference and no online reference if you understand what I mean? It would be a great help since you’re very experienced in that aspect! Love ya and your content Marc 🫶🥲✨
Hey marc, i love your stuff and my art got better with your tutorials! But do you think you can a tutorial of how to shade hair? I feel like is too hard for me :c
A fresh video out of the bakery, thanks sensei marc! side question, are you gonna stop uploading those weekly art school livestreams? last stream was from 3 weeks ago and they were really helpful
